I need a way to run a transformation, that contains extension elements, then after the transformation have the ability to re-execute, selectively some of the templates. i.e. the equivalent of a call-template where I supply the Source Node and the template name.
The Task:
I am developing a plugin for Eclipse, destined to be Open Sourced,
that will take 1 XML (data / configuration) file and 1 or more XSL
files to create a Multipage / Manifest style editor where the XSL
files will describe a form based on the content of the XML. As the
form is created, the source node is stored along with the widget so
that the source document will be updated in place. When the form
is modified, and you jump to the source editor, the document is serialized into the source editor, if the source editor is modified,
its contents will be parsed and the form will be updated.
The idea is to provide a platform to easily create a Project Configuration file editors without a lot of Widget / DOM programming.
I have included some samples below.
Currently the foundation seems to be working well, I can create a form and place widgets on it and edit content in both directions. The model that is bugging me now is when you have a left side list, and the right side edits the details of the selected list item. When a list item is selected, I want to re-run the templates responsible for producing the right side fields so that they can query the Selected index of the List to be used as qualifier in the select statement.
If this sounds interesting to anyone, I can create a SourceForge project if you want to get involved.
The Sample:
The following XSL will produce a page in a MultiPage editor that consists of a SWT Group that contains a single text field. This text field will be populate with an Element of the XML source document. If you edit the text field then jump to the source editor, the source XML will reflect the change.
The Form: <xsl:template match="/" > <xfe:layoutSpec name="basic-grid" num-columns="3" />
<xfe:form layout-class="xfef:layout.xfeFill" name="mainForm">
<xfe:container class="xfef:container.xfeGroup" style="border"
layout-class="xfef:layout.xfeGrid" name="mainGroup"
layout-spec="basic-grid"> <xfe:parameter
method="setText"
select="'Edit Command Definitions'" />
<xfe:parameter
method="setBackground" select="'white'" /> <xfe:widget
class="xfef:widget.xfeText"
name="EditField" style="border"
select="/data/item[3]/FirstName" /></xfe:container> </xfe:form>
</xsl:template>
The Data:
<data>
<item name = "John Ca">
<FirstName>John</FirstName>
<LastName>Gentilin</LastName>
<Address>
<Street>xxxx</Street>
<City>xxx</City>
<State>Ca</State>
<Zip>94546</Zip>
</Address>
</item> <item name = "John NJ">
<FirstName>John</FirstName>
<LastName>Gentilin</LastName>
<Address>
<Street>xxx</Street>
<City>x</City>
<State>xx</State>
<Zip>08823</Zip>
</Address>
</item> <item name = "Avi">
<FirstName>Avi</FirstName>
<LastName>Paraside</LastName>
<Address>
<Street>xx</Street>
<City>xx</City>
<State>NJ</State>
<Zip>08823</Zip>
</Address>
</item>
</data>
